From the wreckage of Zoe...Nitro emerges PICTURE HEAVY
This is a picture journal of the next chapter in my Z story, you all saw Zoe (thread below) and of course saw my subsequent part-out thread. Well guess what......i got another one......free ;) I'm not filing this thread with useless words. Pictures will do my talking with a note here and there. Everything is in cronological order up to date, pictures will be updated as bodywork/paint is finished and I start the rest of this MASSIVE project. Got questions? ask away! It's an 03 Touring model with VDC and 6MT with 120k on it (clean Kansas title). Some idiot tried putting lambo doors on it, failed, damaged it, ****ed body up, interior was decent, in need of TLC, hatch are destroyed, rust on all removable pieces underneath, trans ground in 3rd/4th/5th, clutch shot, brakes all shot, and dents! Without further ado:

Dam that's not bad at all.... But even for free you might end up about even haha
GL looks like a fun project! |
nice to see a z getting ressurrected. Gl on the new project and putting the old behind.

You've got your work cut out for you, but looks like things are coming along nicely! Looking forward to the next set of pictures :)

Thanks everyone :) No I'm definitely not scared of work lol, and I cannot wait to see how badass she looks all done and complete. I'm currently in the process of re-sealing, and wire tucking the engine while it's sitting on my garage floor ;) Should have pictures up of that soon. Soon as I get the car back in my driveway I'm going to pull the harnesses all apart and clean up the engine bay completely before the engine goes back inside! Routing through the fender wells and wiper well as well. I'll keep posting as I go, nice to see everyone likes watching one come back from the grave :) It's definitely different than my 79 camaro lol.....more plastic!!!!!!

Small update
Body work is done, no pics cause I haven't gotten down there to take some lol. But I started working on the engine the other day. Stripping it down to paint and re-seal/tune-up. Wire harness is off and ready to be stripped organized, and tucked, plan is to have ALL wires in one bundle coming out the back and over to the battery tray location. Couple pics for ya xDhttps://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....da143e3ae2.jpg
Old clutch coming out https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....d14e6f88bf.jpg intake off, valve covers coming off! https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....15e2218e47.jpg Nuff said! |

rusty: My friend is a trained painter, has years of experience, and specializes in Z's. From old generation Datsun resto's to his current purple custom chameleon coated GTR. He's moving to Florida and this is his last project before he leaves NC. Making this kind of special for me as it's the last car that will be repping his work. He did the bodywork and is painting it as well. I'm doing the mechanical part, engine, trans, gearing, and the entire interior makeover.
arba: Thanks man! I can't tell you how nice it is to see people actually interested in my little project lol :) It ain't pretty, it's a ton of work, something most people probably wouldn't attempt in a million years. BUT DAMN IS IT FUN! |
